The facade of an unfinished palace near Amman is the greatest example of early Islamic architecture. It’s carved all over with scenes of paradise, done in incredible detail - vines, birds, griffins and centaurs, cattle and lions living in harmony…

Quran Calligraphy
Переглядів 233 роки тому
Islam is a religion of the book, and calligraphy has always been held in high esteem. This Quran shows how decorations, spendid as they are, always highlight the words. It may come from the court of Shah Tahmasp who ruled in Tehran in the 16th century.
Bird of Prey

This bird vessel, possibly made in the Iranian province of Khorrassan, may have been used to burn incense. It’s a bit of a surprise - Islamic art isn’t known for its depiction of living beings. But there has never been a ban of such depictions.

    I can't imagine how beautiful the original tiles were in such vibrant colors. However, I have gotten so accustomed to seeing the faded colors, that I have come to fall in love with the 'worn' beauty of the place in a kind of 'shabby chic' way. I can't explain it, I just love the touch of decay the Nasrid palaces reveal in certain areas. It adds to the mystique, authenticity and ancient 'lived in' aesthetic. 💕💕

    awesome video! you left out the funniest part about Hercule's lost legs (as per the museums texts next to the sculptures). After the original legs were unearthed, della Porta's version were preferred still by the Farnese family, "to demonstrate that works of modern sculpture can stand comparison with ancient works". Centuries later, though, in the 18th century, Francesco Millizia judged them "with muscles so hard and dry, that not flesh they appeared, but cords". After that, the Prince of Borghese gifted the original legs to the King of Naples, when they were finally reintegrated. Goethe wrote: "It is now impossible to understand how those of Della Porta were considered good dor so long a time". That's a great roast if i ever saw one.

    Really irks me when sacred art is taken out of churches and put in galleries, reduces their purpose to mere aesthetic contemplation when the one and only reason they were created for is veneration and participation in a community's religious life. Sacred art can't be properly appreciated outside of faith. Their excuse of "preserving these pieces" is just lazy. I live in a medium sized city in Mexico and here there are a couple of both governmental and independent projects that work towards educating and training locals in the techniques of restauration and preservation of sacred art and architecture in old churches of surrounding towns. There's no need to extract the life out of these towns and keep it inside glass boxes, the urgency is to teach people how to appreciate and take care of their own patrimony.

      I underdstand your words, but must also say that you are completely uninformed on this topic. Had the frescos not been taken to Barcelona they would have been taken away anyway, but to foreign museums and private collections. The threat of expoliation was the main reason for that decision. Also, take into account that 100 years ago those valleys were isolated and reaching them took a long journey with horses or donkeys, and so any inciative regarding mantainance and protection at a local scale was out of any reasonable plan.

    700 identical statue's, made from granite? Look, granite is NOT like cement or clay. In fact it's an 8 out of 10 on the hardness scale. Just to give you an idea for comparison, solid steel is only 3 out of 10. So to suggest simple hand tools, copper chisels and brut force were somehow responsible for the creation of these incredible artifacts... Is just wrong and short sighted. It's impossible without the aid of advanced technology, in the form of highly powered tools and machinery in order to complete such fine levels of workmanship. Sorry to burst the mainstream bubble, but it's also impossible to date the statue's. As we cannot carbon date stone, or rely on the hieroglyphics to be accurate or even remotely truthful

    Thank you for such an amazing representation of the altar! The use of the diorama of the whole city and the original shape of the altar really helped put it into perspective. All of the shots of the sculptures were really high quality and showed off a lot that other videos didn’t. I would love to have a video of the same style of the internal upper floor frieze. That one is always in the shadow of the larger one and I haven’t been able to find much out about it yet.

    Spiritualy speaking (gender aside), matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritualy matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was an ancient mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the matriarchal womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such are key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experience associated with the trans-personal awakening process. In spiritualy matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary ego death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ua-cam.com/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/v-deo.html In the name of the Father, the Son and the holy ghosted... ? ... inevitability.
